I wish you were right, but there legitimately are people who think the earth is flat. It blows my mind, which is why I started the thread. I would genuinely like to have a civil discussion about it.

Are there any Flat Earthers here?

This is kind of funny but your'e right. If the earth were flat, there would be no need what so ever for cell phone towers in flat areas. You would only need one transmitter and receiver for the entire state of Florida and you could just prop it up on the top of the Verizon building. But we know that's not the case.
But I disagree, great circles do work in the southern hemisphere as well. Just look at the flights leaving from Australia to South America.
They do the same thing as what happens in the northern hemisphere. The reason there is so much traffic in the northern hemisphere is because a majority of land mass is located there and as a result so does a majority of the population.
Well, you do your own research on that one.
There’s a lot of discussion out there on the verifiable size of the Southern Hemisphere, on those flights, and other travel as well.

Well that was easy, 50 seconds in, the horizon is not flat in all photographs at any altitude. The photo below was taken from a U-2 Dragon Lady at an altitude of over 70,000 feet. The horizon isn't flat. And before you talk about fish eye lenses, notice that the wing just below the horizon is still perfectly straight. Notice the edge of his cockpit is also perfectly straight. If the lens of the camera were to distort the horizon, physics would say that the shape of the wing and the geometries in the cockpit would be equally as distorted.
I'm an android guy. I hate apple.
I seriously can't believe this subject is even a discussion . BUT ! , one of my fellow workers is a Flat Earth believer . I honestly thought it was an inside joke when I first heard some guys talking about what the co-worker said . His only explanation ? His daughter is a college student and she believes . Alrighty then ? . Besides , just look at a World map on a wall . It's flat , dahhh !
I had a guy tell me the earth is flat and he could prove it. "Oh tell me more" I said. He said he drove to New York and back from Florida and used the same amount of gas both ways. If the earth was round he would have used more gas going up than coming back he said. 'Why I asked"? He said because you are driving up the Earth going and down the earth coming back. Going up hill all the way up should use more gas. 
I guess it would not surprise you to find out he was killed by the Police, while hiding under his grand parents house with a rifle. He was shooting at the people who were out to get him. Sad but true. He was the most mellow easy going guy I ever met. You just never know.

Two questions . Can we spice this up and get to ten pages ? Can we award this the stupidest thread in the Anals ( yes I mean Ay nall ) of Hide History ? Derrr mm hmm Daar ahhh da oyths flat see . My momma dunn tol me der herr herr . Fuckin tard taint lickin two chromosome genetic scratch n dent morons .
It is obvious that your education ended at the 5th grade.
Hey, you do your own research or better yet duplicate some of the experiments mentioned in the two hour video posted above. Or even better yet post some testable, duplicatable, experiments that demonstrate the earth’s curvature. If NASA is telling us the truth from above it should be easily demonstrated from below.
Of course this is an organization named after deception, that “lost” the information necessary to get to the moon, and built a machine that read the thoughts and then spoke for the smartest guy ever. ? ?

That one did it. That was the insult that changed my mind. ? It’s a globe... ?
I really dont understand the NASA conspiracy angle. The curved earth model predates NASA by more than 1000 years. Were all the people in the 1000 years before NASA also a part of the conspiracy?
K.I.S.S.- Why would anyone claim the World is round when in fact it is flat? No one. No one has any reason to trick the entire population into believing the World is round when it's actually flat. Hence, the Earth is round just as science, math, scientists tell us and astronauts observe it. Literally astronauts from aROUND the GLOBE. American, Russian(USSR), Japanese, French, Chinese, etc. Not to mention the privateers who have entered the stratosphere for various reasons. Not to mention the dozens of satellite operators watching down on Earth 24/7 for myriad of reasons.
Yup and satellites don't have to wait to image an area cuz they just hang there straight up above us . I think you should prove that putting a 10mil plastic bag over you head and duct taping at the neck won't starve you brain of oxygen . Did you do the video with the .45 and the steel toe boot ? Askin for Darwin .
Uhhh.......take a deep breath, he’s fuckin’ with you
But, on the topic of the plastic bag ? I’m likin’ it
Wrong. They most certainly disappear from the keel up, but clearly this is evidence that your real problem is blindness (probably from psychotic masturbation). If you could actually see, what every person who can see see’s, it’s crystal clear and leaves no doubt.
Have you tried it . Remeber let he who has not pysoctically masterbated cast the first yellow tissue .
It’s on my list of things to do, just after shoving a pickle up a Wolverine’s ass in a phone booth.
I remember being in grade school and looking through a transit, that was level, at the second floor windows of a building that was farther uphill from the bay’s shore than we were. Sea level in front of me and a shoreline across the way.
Also, on a different occasion, looked out over the Pacific through a window with horizontal blinds, the curvature was visible from right to left.
I also wonder how the magnetic field works on a flat earth.

Thanks Niles for at least grasping for some proof. If that experiment were true, how would you ever see a ship at 33 miles? Or look across a miles wide lake and see a moose on the other side? Shoot you could only see a man on flat ground for three miles.
But that’s the great thing about experiments, they’re duplicatable. You guys test your globe and see what you find.

You can see the very top of the taller buildings in Chicago across lake michigan from the top of tower hill in Warren Dunes state park in SW Michigan on a clear day... about 50-60 miles away.
The dynamics of light can be a rather interesting subject... knowing what I know now, and in a different life, I would go that direction for a career.

The magnetic problem is a very hard one to get by on a flat earth.
Flat earth/phonograph/record shape, has an increasing velocity as you move out from the center of rotation.
Centrifical force would require an ever increasing gravitational pull as you moved closer to the edge.
Accretion, particularly in a zero gravity environment, is one very hard problem to surpass as well.

That’s only a problem is the disc is in “space”, but we know there is no such thing. The disk is on the back of a turtle in Zeus’s garden.
And the reason why gun barrels are rifled is because the spin that is placed on the bullet throws off the little demons that cling to each and every bullet that is fired. Those little demons make the projectiles fly way off course. Rifling=accuracy
